Bhujia Fort, 18th-century defensive fort in Bhuj, India
The fort stands on Bhujia Hill, featuring massive stone walls and strategic vantage points overlooking the entire city of Bhuj and its surrounding landscapes.
Construction of the fort began in 1715 under Rao Godaji I and was completed by his son Deshalji I in 1718 to protect the city from regional invasions.
The Bhujang Naga Temple within the fort complex maintains a connection to local traditions through the annual Nag Panchami religious procession.
Visitors need to climb approximately 200 steps to reach the fort entrance, which remains open from 6 AM to 6 PM for exploration of its structures.
The fort withstood six major battles between Rajput rulers, Muslim raiders from Sindh, and Mughal rulers of Gujarat during the period from 1700 to 1800.
